Conroy was charged with 20 counts of child pornography, three counts of sexual abuse of children for distributing child pornography and criminal use of a communication facility.

Today agents from the attorney general's office executed a search warrant at Conroy's business, MCM Machine and Tool in the 2500 block of North Delaware Drive

When authorities asked Conroy if he knew what the search on the computer would be about, he said it involved "underage things," court records indicate.

Conroy told agents that he had "stumbled upon" child pornography on the internet years ago and that whenever he felt "weak" he would download and look at the pornography and then delete it, according to records.

He said he had tried to be secretive about it, as to not get in trouble with police or his family, records indicate.

Conroy said he had downloaded it at his New Jersey home but within the last year had downloaded and viewed all of it at his business in Pennsylvania, records say. He said he would stop for years at a time, stating it wasn't easy, records indicate.

Conroy said he was trying to stop, records say, indicating he knows it's illegal and it is "bad (expletive)."

He was arraigned Friday in front of Senior District Judge Sherwood R. Grigg and sent to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $100,000 bail.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Sept. 12 in front of Grigg, records say.
